The weekend was spent at my 老姨 and 老姨丈's house at Glenwood, on the north-western side of NSW. The nearest train station is Blacktown. 老姨丈's birthday is on the 26th Aug 06 but since both Hazel and I would be going to Port Stephens for that weekend, we decided to celebrate his birthday 1 week earlier. We reached Blacktown at around 5pm Saturday evening to meet them for dinner. We had planned to get a cake before meeting them and alas, we forgot that we are in Sydney! All shops are closed by the time we reached. We searched franatically around the huge Westfield shopping mall but no luck!
We can only get a chocolate mud
cake from Coles (equivalent of Giant/Seng Siong in S'pore). Not very fantastic or ideal but at least we managed to get 1 and hopefully it's the thots that count. 老姨丈 treated us to a sumptuous dinner at a Chinese restaurant before we made our way to their house.We chatted, and showed them our ROM photos and most importantly, we celebrated 老姨丈's birthday before turning in. Hope that it had been a good celebration for him!
The next morning, we tagged along with them to their church service at Parramatta. It was a good experience. Both Hazel and I are receptive to all religions as we believe that religions that preaches followers to do good are good!
Here are some of the photos we had taken at our 老姨 and 老姨丈's house. Big, spacious bungalow type of house! Very cosy and very homely...
